Discussion
Var. sophorae is an Australian coastal form treated as a species by Black (1963) and Pedley (1963) and as a variety by Tindale (annotation). The leaves are usually broader, often apically rounded, and possibly more coriaceous than those of var. longifolia. Probably it is a coastal sand ecotype.
